                        Tuesday, October 5, 2021

  Mr. SOTO. Madam Speaker, in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, I honor 
Sol Hincapie. Sol was born in Medellin, Colombia, and came to New York 
City when she was 13 years old. She lived in New York for 25 years and 
then moved to Florida, where she has lived for four years.
  Sol completed her bachelor's degree in science nursing in Puerto Rico 
and graduated as a licensed practical nurse from Medgar Evers College 
in Brooklyn, New York. She is currently working towards getting her 
license as a registered nurse.
  Sol is the oldest three children and has two brothers, Rafael and 
Alejandro Urrego. Her parents, Alberto and Marleny Urrego, worked hard 
to provide a better life and education for Sol and her brothers. They 
encouraged their children to stay in school and become better people by 
helping their community and others.
  Sol has a caring and compassionate personality and is satisfied 
through helping others. This satisfaction is what motivated her to 
choose nursing as a career. Sol serves as a senior licensed practical 
nurse at the Florida Department of Health in Osceola County, providing 
support to the school health program. She has been at the forefront of 
the health department's COVID-19 testing and vaccination efforts and 
continues to provide quality healthcare to the residents of our 
community.
  For this and more, we honor Sol Hincapie.
